That day, Xinwan and Tong Qing Meng did not have a good meal.
After returning home, Tong Qing Meng did not mention anything about her studies in the United States. Xinwan continued to follow Jiang Youyi to the company every day. Tong Qing Meng did not say anything either. However, Xinwan felt that her mother was not in good spirits these days.
However, Xinwan went out early and came home late every day. She also had to take care of her son. It was rare that Wen Han-woo was not around for a week. She could live with her son every day, so she did not pay much attention to her mother's condition.
On the morning of the fifth day, after breakfast, Xinwan sent Tong Yanyu to the kindergarten first before driving to the company.
As soon as she parked the car, Jiang Youyi called her. He probably told her that she did not need to go up anymore. She could go directly to the construction site with him today.
The Jiang Group was mainly involved in real estate. In recent years, the real estate market had not been very prosperous. Jiang Youyi had wanted to invest in a large-scale amusement park. However, a "commercial fraud case" happened. Although he was acquitted in the end, it still had an impact.
Because of Wen Han-woo's relationship with the Wen Group, the contract with the Wen Group was not broken. In addition, this project was the result of Jiang Youyi's painstaking efforts for a long time. He did not intend to give it up. Recently, he was mainly working on this project.
Today, he was going to the construction site to inspect the situation. The project had already started. Now was the most crucial time.
Xinwan hung up the phone, restarted the car engine, and went straight to the destination.
It was a 30-minute journey. Jiang Youyi had arrived a few minutes earlier than her. Xinwan had been going in and out with Jiang Youyi every day. In fact, she had already learned about some of the key businesses of the Jiang Group, including some of the main partners in recent years. Today, she followed along to see the most important project of the Jiang Group in the second half of the year. Of course, she understood her father's main purpose.
After a round of inspection, everything was normal.
Jiang Youyi reached out to press the safety helmet on his head. He pulled Xinwan to sit beside him. "You have been busy with me these days. Are you used to it?"
The red safety helmet on her head was very heavy. Xinwan reached out to take it off and said, "It's quite good. Dad, it's not easy for you to worry about such a big company all these years. I will do my best to help you in the future."
Jiang Youyi smiled and said, "Silly girl, I can't bear to see you suffer. Wanwan, you may think that I am a person who prioritizes my career, but I also suffered when I was young. I know that if you want to stand high, you have to put in a lot of effort. The Jiang Group is my life's work. Look at this project. I am really worried about it. But now that everything is going well, I feel at ease. Actually, these are all things that a man should do. It's understandable that I let you familiarize yourself with the business these few days. My successor will definitely be Jiang Youyi. But Wanwan, I still hope that you can be happy with Hanwoo. This is not only for the Jiang Group, but also for yourself. Do you understand? "
Understood.
Actually, Xinwan had always understood. She could understand that her father had to be so respectful to a junior because of "power". This was probably human nature.
But to Xinwan, she did not want to mix her love with her career or power.
That would not be pure.
Of course, at this time, she would not say too much. Love?
Wen Han-woo and her were in a relationship now. Love?
Of course, she would not open her mouth to talk about it.
The father and daughter rarely met in a hundred years. They sat in a corner of the construction site and chatted. In the end, they ended when Xinwan called.
Jiang Youyi looked at the time and said, "Go back first. It's almost time. I have a dinner party tonight, so you don't have to come. I see that you will directly pick up Xiao Yu and go home in a while."
Xinwan nodded and waited for Jiang Youyi to walk away before she took out her phone again. She looked at the missed call displayed on the screen. The name was "Qin Fangang". She thought for a moment and put her phone back into her pocket. She shook the safety helmet in her hand and was about to walk towards her car when suddenly, she heard a cry behind her.
"Miss Tong! Be careful! "
Xin Wan only heard the three words' Miss Tong '. By the time she reacted, she felt a sharp pain in her back. She lost control and fell forward. Then, with a' plop 'sound, she knelt on the ground. In a construction site like this, the ground was actually uneven. There were a lot of nails and pebbles. When Xin Wan's knees touched the ground, she felt an even sharper pain throughout her body. In that instant, she felt that all the pain was concentrated in her knees. Her hands were in front of her and the safety helmet in her hands had already rolled far away. She barely managed to support her body and didn't fall completely, but it was really painful.
Very quickly, people rushed over and supported her. Someone anxiously asked by her ear, "Miss Tong! Are you okay? We wanted to call you, but we didn't have time. Miss Tong, I'm really sorry. I didn't grab the wooden stick. How's your back? We'll call an ambulance for you right now. "
Xinwan seemed to want to say that she should be fine. However, her shoulders were in so much pain that she couldn't raise her hands. Her knees were also burning with pain. She could only stand because there were two workers supporting her.
She struggled to speak. "Don't, don't call an ambulance. It's not that serious. I can drive myself."
She looked around. She was dizzy and in so much pain that the back of her head was covered in cold sweat. However, when she looked at the group of innocent people, they were probably afraid that she would blame them. Every one of them looked extremely nervous. She didn't have the heart to say anything else. She endured the pain and said, "Who can drive? Just send me there. Don't call an ambulance. Don't make such a big fuss."
In the end, one of the leaders drove her to the hospital.
Actually, it was really painful. She didn't know how thick the wooden stick was, but she knew that it was definitely heavy.
It wasn't small. The pain in her knees, palms, and back was simply triple torture. Xinwan's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. Her phone kept ringing in her bag, but she didn't hear it. She only reacted after the people in front reminded her several times.
Xinwan pursed her lips. She took out her phone with trembling hands. The moment the phone touched the abrasions, she gasped in pain. Her finger happened to swipe across the screen. The call went through, but the phone fell onto the car seat.
Xinwan's face was a little pale. She reached out to pick it up, but the moment she moved, she touched the muscles on her back. She instantly fell forward and hit her head on the car seat. "Ah!" She was in so much pain that she almost fainted.
The driver in front heard her cry out in pain. He quickly stepped on the brakes and turned around. "Miss Tong, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Continue driving. I just accidentally touched my wound."
Xinwan struggled to pick up her phone. It was a call from Wen Han-woo. However, she really didn't have the mood or energy to talk to him. She simply said, "I'm busy right now. If it's nothing important, don't call."
Before she hung up, she seemed to hear the man on the other end of the line call — Wanwan.
However, after she hung up, Xin Wan threw her phone to the side. She turned her body and fell to the ground in pain.
She didn't know where the wooden stick had hit her. Right now, she felt like her entire back was being skinned. It was really painful …
It took 30 minutes for them to reach the hospital. Xinwan was helped into the hospital by the migrant worker who drove her here.
The doctor gave her a series of checkups. She could barely lift her right arm. It affected her entire shoulder and caused great pain. Xinwan's face was pale. During the process, the doctor said to her, "You're lucky."
Xinwan didn't have the energy to speak. When the doctor helped her put on the plaster, she had already guessed that her wrist was probably dislocated or fractured. The doctor said, "Fortunately, it's your arm. You said that there was a wooden stick falling from such a high place. If it hit your back, it's very likely that your spine would be smashed! However, you're seriously injured this time. A fracture is a small matter. Your shoulder is also strained. Does your back hurt? "
As he asked, he pressed down on her spine. Xinwan felt pain, but it wasn't as excruciating as before. She took a deep breath and shook her head. "It's okay."
"You shouldn't be injured. Alright, don't go into the water for the next few days. Don't move your right shoulder casually. If it hurts, take some painkillers. The first three days will be more difficult."
Xinwan was sweating profusely because she was also sweating from the pain. According to the doctor, three days?
She had to endure this excruciating pain for three days?
— — What an unexpected disaster! She really wished that she could just faint for three days!
When she came out of the emergency room, her arm was wrapped like a dumpling. The migrant worker who sent her to the hospital was still waiting outside. He looked anxious. When he saw Xinwan limping out with a pale face, he hurriedly went up to her and said apologetically, "Miss Tong, actually, I didn't hold the wooden stick properly. I'm really sorry for causing you to suffer. I don't know how to express my apology. How about this, Miss Tong, I'll pay for your medical expenses this time. If there are any sequelae, I'll also take responsibility. I …"
"It's okay."
When Xinwan saw that he was about to cry, she knew that migrant workers didn't have it easy. Although she was really in pain, she didn't want to vent her anger on him. She forced herself to say a complete sentence. "I'm actually fine. It's not all your fault. Maybe it's my first time at a construction site like that, so I wasn't careful. Don't take it to heart. Let's not talk about it anymore. You can go back. I'll get my friend to pick me up later."
"But, I …"
